My dad just gave me a Loewe 1895 Chilean Mauser (standard rifle).
I’ve researched the piss out it/them and have a question.
I'm going to handload for it, I know the original load was a 173gr round nose. I also know that if the rear sight ladder has the dual spring tabs, a rifle has been armory re-done for the later 154gr spire point.
my question is-why can’t I find any info anywhere on just what this 154 spire point was (soft point/fmj, flat base, bullet length, velocity, etc…)???
I’d like to find a modern bullet best shaped to replicate the later military load that was used in the 7x57. Just seems odd that so many 1895’s are out there with the later sight and no one talks about the later load.
